Children on a Sunday in Seville

What a gorgeous day to spend outside, a Sunday, sunny and just the right temperature. Many families also thought it was a good day to be out, and Triana, an area of Seville across the river we really enjoy, was host to all of them!

I fell in love with these children having a good time together, entertaining themselves while their parents ate lunch nearby. No one minded when I took these photos (the default position here doesn't seem to be that strangers mean to cause harm) and I hope they convey some of the fun the children were having, wonderful to see!

Sunday in Triana, it's the place to be. A pedestrian only area lined with outdoor cafes, where children and adults can play. Calle San Jacinto.

From somewhere came a jump rope. They figured out what to do quickly, I'm not even sure if they all knew each other.

Twins!! I have seen so many twins since I've been here, and adult ones, too. 

The boy in the back is taking good care of his little sister (at least that's who I think she is)

He's not really strangling her, he was very sweet :-)

Sooooo adorable and natural to care for each other!!!

She saw me and gave me a big smile, what a sweet sweet face!

As spectators, this bunch were really getting into the game they were playing.

Bravo!

Too many photos of them, I know... I couldn't resist :-)

Last night at the bar we ate at in Seville, I found these 2... brothers, cousins?.. talking while their parents were getting a drink and tapas. Kids being in bars isn't an issue here. They go wherever their parents go and always seem to be content.

I love the way the younger boy is looking at the older one, in every culture at a certain age, the older child is someone to look up to.

Something is being explained...check out the hands.

And then the other boy gives it a try.

All of these images were taken with my iPhone 6S. The children outside with the jump rope were shot very quickly, I didn't want to intrude. From first to last image took 2 minutes, 15 images total...pretty fast!

Lunch in Loumarin, France

On the other side of the mountain is Loumarin, still in the Luberon area of Provence, which is where we have been the last 2 weeks. What a fun time eating outside in a lovely square, good food, interesting people watching... and oh, so French: everyone relaxing, taking their time, enjoying spring.

 The castle in town, such a pretty day with these clouds and sunshine.

 Reading the paper and having a couple of beers...

 ..along with his hand rolled cigarette.

 An active hot spot, life is good.

 Lunch outside, heavenly.

Maybe a famous author, using longhand to write a novel?

Our very hardworking and interested waiter.

After our long lunch, we walked around town, and hey.... good time for a selfie. 

 Someone has style! Just a random table with tulips out on the sidewalk by itself.

 Love these little cars, and so practical on the narrow streets, not like our big Peugeot.

 Joe helping with a sense of scale. An old mini mini.

 Spring.

Love the trees!
